metalosis maligna
To visualize what might possibly be or to visually and narratively stretch a situation to an extreme that might look absurd, but sets your minds in motion, thinking: ‘ok, but what if … ?’. That is one of these fascinating points where future thinking, learning and art and design touch and can make a difference. Our experiences at Pantopicon show the amazing impact such tangible thought experiments can have as experience enhancers and triggers in foresight and future studies, especially in a participatory setting.
Floris Kaayk and Sil van der Woerd are two young dutch filmmakers, fascinated by the art of combining live motion and computer graphics (think: lots of bluescreens/chromakeys, motion tracking, cg, etc.). Floris’ recently completed a short documentary-style movie titled ‘metalosis maligna‘ (not for the faint of heart), which deals with a fictitious disease caused by bacteria infecting people with artificial body implants, leading to outgrowths of metal.
Be sure to check out their other interesting works as well. Artistically, technically and in terms of concept/narrative, Floris and Sil’s work shows promising talent to say the least. Some of their experimental movies reminded me somehow of the work of Joseph Kosinski.
